The Middleman (1.5)

Monday, July 14th @ 10 PM
ABC Family
The Middleman - Season 1, Episode 5 - "The Flying Fish Zombification"
Marmot: I am officially a fan of The Middleman.

Manatee: Why?

Marmot: I just really like this show for some reason. It's light and fluffy and really silly.

Manatee: Who do you think watches this show? And/or who do you think is supposed to watch this show?

Marmot: I think it's supposed to appeal to teenagers, maybe tweeners? Nerds like me?

Manatee: You're not a nerd, Marmot. I was thinking tweens too. It is a silly show, and I like that about it, but it's sort of fading for me. The uniqueness isn't as interesting anymore. I would like to know where these stories come from? The graphic novel? Or new ideas? They are quite weird.

Marmot: Trout eating zombies? It's so bizarre, it’s comical. I really like the Middleman character. There hasn't been an actor this stiff on primetime television since Data.

Manatee: Does that make you wonder why he likes Wendy so much? She's the complete opposite.

Marmot: Opposites do attract. That cat that Paula Abdul used to dance with taught us that.

Manatee: Maybe he'll be loosening up soon. He seemed to be jealous of Wendy's freedom last episode.

Marmot: I think he's also jealous of her friends and life away from being a Middleman/person. Does he live at Middleman HQ?

Manatee: I get that sense. He's got everything he needs. The big question is when will he hook up with Lacey?

Marmot: I hope soon. That is going to be a great story arc, when Wendy wakes up to find her boss making eggs in her kitchen.

Manatee: You just wrote it! That's the scene!

Marmot: Better yet: if he's only wearing a towel.

Manatee: And he bends over.

Marmot: Then they get a call from that old lady robot in the office and have to talk in code in front of Lacey and she thinks they're having an affair.

Manatee: OMG! What could be better?
